The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

普段は絶対に表舞台の記者会見などしない有力ロビー団体「全米ライフル協会」（ＮＲＡ）が２１日、ワシントン市内で記者団に対し，「銃を持つ悪人を止められるのは、銃を持つ善人だけだ」と強調し、なんとすべての学校に銃を持った警官らを配備する必要性を訴えったのです。The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. なんというロジック，「目には目を〜」の発想そのものです。あきれて物が言えません。（UG）

NRA clear on gun debate stance: arm schools

(CNN) -- The National Rifle Association responded Friday to a chorus of voices calling for gun control in the wake of last week's horrific mass shooting in Connecticut by doubling down on its own position: more guns, not fewer, provide true security.

After one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history -- 20 children and seven adults killed, not including the gunman -- polls show that a slight majority of Americans favor restrictions on guns. Conservative Democrats and even some Republicans who have supported gun rights have said they are open to discussing gun control.

But the NRA made its position clear: The prominent gun rights organization will not budge an inch toward discussion of gun control. To the contrary, the group announced it will fund a team that will design a program to get armed security personnel on school grounds across the country.

"You know, five years ago, after the Virginia Tech tragedy, when I said we should put armed security in every school, the media called me crazy," NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said.

But what if the gunman, Adam Lanza, had been confronted by a trained security guard?

"Will you at least admit it's possible that 26 innocent lives might have been spared?" LaPierre asked.

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," he said.

LaPierre's position sets the stage for a contentious battle between the NRA, one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, and the Obama administration, which has promised quick action on "real reforms" to gun laws.
